My Top 100 Eurovison Entries Ever 60-41

So, the countdown of all countdowns continues……

60

Country: Slovenia
Song: “Vrag Naj Vzame”
Artist: Rebeka Dremelj
Year: 2008
Position: 12th in Semi Final

Great song, a welcome addition to any dance floor! Rebeka has a very strong voice, I am just miffed with the outfit, was not good, not cool…just wrong!

59

Country: Ukraine
Song: “Dancing Lasha Tumbai”
Artist: Verka Serduchka
Year: 2007
Position: 2nd in Final

Crazyness, mental, camp, trashy…just some of the words used to describe this act but I think they fell short big-time!! Verka went all out in 2007 and he certainly got the attention he wanted but he did put on quite a show so it was well deserved! I think this will always be remembered and is nearly always guaranteed to be shown on Eurovision previews!

58

Country: Moldova
Song: “Run Away”
Artist: Sun Stroke Project & Olia Tira
Year: 2010
Position: 22nd in Final

Not exactly the worlds best singers and I think they may have been swamped by such a particularly huge stage in 2010, however, my love for the song itself sends it into my no 58!

57

Country: Finland
Song: “Lose Control”
Artist: Waldo’s People
Year: 2009
Position: 25th in Final

As with Moldova above, Waldo’s “People” didn’t exactly set the world on fire with their voices but they had one thing going for them, a great song! Presentation was quite poor, not thought out but as I said, the song has got them this far in my countdown!

56

Country: Serbia
Song: “Ovo Je Balkan”
Artist: Milan Stankovic
Year: 2010
Position: 13th in Final

Didn’t fall for this the first time I heard it but it very quickly grew on me and I became slighty obsessed! Great quirky song with a weird looking singer to match!

55

Country: Greece
Song: “Everything”
Artist: Anna Vissi
Year: 2006
Position: 9th in Final

I really thought this one was a bit of a “Diva” when I saw her in Athens but then again, I had other motives around then! I really liked the song and after five particularly busy Eurovision years, it has become one of my favourites!!

54

Country: Cyprus
Song: “Stronger Every Minute”
Artist: Lisa Andreas
Year: 2004
Position: 5th

Lisa’s song was simple and her voice amazing…she didn’t need any gimmicks or big presentations, she just used her brilliant voice!

53

Country: Germany
Song: “Dschinghis Khan”
Artist: Dschinghis Khan
Year: 1979
Position: 4th

An iconic song, an even more iconic performance! This had all the unruly behaviour and madness I enjoy in a performance! I love to hear this at any Eurovision party or gathering!

52

Country: Sweden
Song: “Take Me To Your Heaven”
Artist: Charlotte Nilsson
Year: 1999
Position: Winner

I don’t think Charlotte Nilsson (Perrelli nowadays) knew the effect she would have on Eurovision back in Israel in ’99. Maybe she did but I bet the Swedish are very happy with her. She has an amazing career now in Sweden and this song really made it for her!

51

Country: Netherlands
Song: “Ik ben Verliefd Sha La Lie”
Artist: Sieneke
Year: 2010
Position: 14th in Semi Final

This was like a throw back to the 80′s and I love it! Sienke was a bit young for this style of a song but I think she pulled it off brilliantly and should have done much better at Eurovision! Tragedy in my book!

50

Country: Greece
Song: “This Is My Night”
Artist: Skais Rouvas
Year: 2009
Position: 8th

Sakis put on such an amazing show in 2004 and didn’t disappoint five years later! He is the ultimate professional and his performances were always polished to the last detail. Both of his songs were great too along with his presenting skills! Think his second entry should have made it higher, as should his first, now that I think of it!

49

Country: Germany
Song: “Disappear”
Artist: No Angels
Year: 2008
Position: 23rd in Final

I don’t know what it is about this song but I think it’s something special. I was never fond of any of the singers, their voices were quite poor live and I cringed watching this on my screen but I have remained a huge fan of this song!

48

Country: Slovenia
Song: “Nananana”
Artist: Karmen Stavec
Year: 2003
Position: 23rd

Poor Carmen, I think she really believed she might win and I was rooting for her but deep down, even I knew she could never win but didn’t expect her to do as bad as she did. I still love that song to this day, I think she was great personally but I think her backing singers/dancers did leave her down, they didn’t look like they even wanted to be there!

47

Country: Albania
Song: “It’s All About You”
Artist: Juliana Pasha
Year: 2010
Position: 16th in Final

I thought this song was just good on the cd until I watched her belt it out on that huge stage in Oslo. Juliana really put on some show. She was firing on all cylinders and she was the type that shows up in every year of Eurovision where they impress when not expected!

46

Country: Yugoslavia
Song: “Brazil”
Artist: Bebi Doll
Year: 1991
Position: 21st

I never appreciated this until a few years ago, think I was too young at the time. She looks pure nuts the whole way through the song! I love everything about the performance now! She is FUN!

45

Country: Lithuania
Song: “Little By Little”
Artist: Laura & The Lovers
Year: 2005
Position: 25th in Semi Final

Having lisened to this on the official CD, I was expecting great things, however, when it came to the actual performance at Eurovision, I was left feeling a little disappointed, the song was still very good, she looked good and the whole presentation looked good. The singing however was a bit dead but…….but I still love this song!

44

Country: Bosnia & Herzigovina
Song: “In The Disco”
Artist: Deen
Year: 2004
Position: 9th in Final

I like to think that I’m open minded and not easily shocked but I found Deen’s performance a bit…I don’t know, I don’t think I can find the words. It was just that I thought he was very over the top but like I have learned with others, I just didn’t appreciate it enough at the time. I adore this now! It was one of the best in 2004 without a doubt and should have been higher up the table right up to the end!

43

Country: Denmark
Song: “In A Moment Like This”
Artist: Chanee & N’Evergreen
Year: 2010
Position: 4th in Final

This is a fabulous song from Denmark, it was one of my favourites to win for 2010 and I think it had the potential to win but was left down by the obvious coldness between the two singers. It appears all was not well backstage with these two. Will they regret it in years to come? Have they left their feelings for each other ruin the chances of winning? Only they can say!

42

Country: Greece
Song: “I Would Die For You”
Artist: Antique
Year: 2001
Position: 3rd

This was another amazing song among two or three others in the same year. Antique’s overall final position was well deserved and the winner was a mistake in my opinion so Antique could easily have stolen their crown! So this song remains on my top Euro party list among myself and my friends!

41

Country: Turkey
Song: “Dinle”
Artist: Sebnem Paker
Year: 1997
Position: 2nd

A huge slice of Turkey in a song that I loved from the start. A brilliant effort for Turkey and one of my all time favourite Turkish entries and of course, still a huge fan favourite all over Europe.

So….there you have songs 60 down to 41!

What do you think so far?

Which ones would you have further up in your list or not in your list at all maybe?
